23 TV Shows That I Genuinely Can't Believe Are Still On Air (Like, Does Anyone Still Watch Them Anymore?!)

In all likelihood, General Hospital is significantly older than you. 🤯🤯

Some fan-favourite TV shows get cancelled wayyyy before we're ready to say goodbye to them — like Mindhunter, for one. Others miraculously end exactly when they should, like Breaking Bad. But there are also a buttload of shows that have gone on way longer than any of us expected.

So I thought I'd compile some of the shows that genuinely surprised me when I learned they were still on — and made me question who actually still watches them. Then, for ~science~, I'm gonna ask you if you watch each show.
